In 2014 we diversified our business by branching out into production and acquiring a majority share in our first farm, Rekopane Estates. The shift from exporter to producer was in line with Dole’s vision to be a better placed partner in the global market for our customers. Our farms are strategically chosen to gain in-roads into the early supply of grapes to the market and to ensure that we remain a reliable source of supply throughout the year.
